When this pattern is seen in a really large repeat, each bird eventually looks at the free birds. Down, up, across, even the crane eventually sees them. Its a step towards the narrative aspect I'm going after. Next step is the library, bookstore, and gallery to look at some inspiration. I will have to post some of what I find and get out of my own head.
Very psyched about the reaction project. Its an idea I think is solid. I'm thinking I wont post any of its development though. Today, I also picked up 1 tube of cherry red Holbein watercolor, 1 sheet 3 ply Strathmore Bristol board, had a good sketch review in Dig. Narrative, good crit in Ill. One, caught the tail end of a Bob Dorsey mix media demo, and nailed that idea down. Fantastic day.
